STANTON, Calif. - A 72-year-old grandmother from Southern California fired at an intruder and barely missed him in a confrontation recorded by a 911 operator.

Jan Cooper of Anaheim said Tuesday that she fired one shot from her .357-magnum revolver early Sunday as a burglar tried to break in through a sliding glass door. Cooper says she has owned guns since she was a teenager and has years of practice at the shooting range with her husband, a World War II veteran.

The suspect was arrested by Orange County sheriff's deputies a short time later.
